The Indian team has failed to end the ICC trophy drought for the last ten years. Indian team reached the final or semi-final but ended on the losing side. By beating Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, India got a ticket to the final of the World Test Championship, and the team has a golden opportunity to wash off this stain again. Meanwhile, the former head coach, Ravi Shastri, has made a big statement about Team India’s trouble in the ICC tournament.
Ravi Shastri stated that even Sachin Tendulkar had to play six World Cups to win one. Speaking to a media house, Shastri said, “I think Team India is yet to win an ICC trophy. They have shown consistent performance, reaching the finals or semi-finals almost every time. Sachin had to play six World Cups to win one ICC trophy. Six World Cups means 24 years, and he went to the last World Cup and won it.”
Shastri also cited the example of Messi and said that he had to wait a long time to win the World Cup. The former head coach said, “You look at Lionel Messi. He’s a classic example. I mean, how long he’s been playing and when he started winning, he won the Copa America, then the World Cup and reached the final.” Scored as well. Means you have to wait; ICC Trophy will rain.”
The last time the Indian team won the ICC trophy was in 2013. Under the leadership of former captain MS Dhoni, the team captured the Champions Trophy title by beating England in the final. Since then, the Indian team has reached the semi-finals and finals of ICC tournaments but could not win the title.
